True Botanicals Review

My updated True Botanicals Review is here. A lot has changed for this luxe line, since I last reviewed it. From product changes, name changes and new products-a lot’s been going on for TB! I couldn’t be more excited for all the newness!

When I think of TB what sticks out to me is a luxe anti-aging line. Using the most potent ingredients, TB spares no expense when it comes to creating their products. They care about quality and seeing products that actually perform, while at the same time are safe. A truly unique company in the green beauty industry. The scents of their products are some of the best. Nothing is too strong but smells fresh and real. I also love how they do clinical tests on their products. Something that is rare among the natural skincare industry. Proven results, with clean ingredients-what more could you want? Oh and I can’t forget to mention that all their products come in frosted glass bottles, can you say luxurious? Not only do they make skincare products but also some stellar body products. I tried out the shampoo and conditioner, body wash and lotion and they’re all winners!

TB is also one of the first companies to become Made Safe Certified. A new certification done by third party testing that ensures toxins stay out of products. Another exciting piece of news from TB headquarters is their Clear Collection just passed clinical trials against Proactiv+. Making it the go to skincare line for acne. Most lines dry out your skin in hopes of combatting acne. But with TB’s Clear Collection it actually kills bacteria that could be causing flare ups and breakouts. The products create balance in your skin, unlike most acne treatment lines. Say hello to your new favorite acne skincare line that delivers. Check out the full clinical trial results here! As they say the proof is in the pudding!

TB was started by Hillary Peterson. She was a long time lover of luxury skincare. However, she realized the price she was paying for luxury skincare also cost her toxic ingredients. Having been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, she knew a change needed to be made. After 8 years of research with chemists, studying botanicals and talking with sustainability experts, she created True Botanicals. Her goal was to make skincare products that were not only effective but clean. Well she did it and since then has won some awards…

True Botanicals’ rule-breaking approach to luxury skin care and ability to bring together superior results and safety has earned it ELLE magazine’s coveted Genius award and placement at several of the world’s top spas.

If you’re unsure of what line to commit to in TB, then take their online quiz here. They’ve made it easy to help you decide what line suits your skin best. Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. If it’s one thing I’ve learned from using TB products it’s that skincare needs two things to be great, clean and effective. TB offers both.

Ok, so want to know what I thought about TB’s new products and line in general? Well then sit back and take notes-it’s about to get good!

*A little disclaimer- my skin type is normal to dry so I use the RENEW line by TB. They have 3 different lines depending on your skin type. RENEW is for Normal skin. CLEAR is for acne-prone and CALM is for rosacea -prone skin. As I said earlier, take the quiz to see what products would best suit your skin.

This cleanser is milky in consistency. I apply it to damp skin and rub it all over in circular motions, even over my eye makeup. I double cleanse with this cleanser or use a balm before it and then use the Hydrating Cleanser second. It leaves your skin so smooth and not dry at all. Your skin feels balanced all over. So many cleansers blast your face and your skin is literally crying out for moisture-not the case with this cleanser. I love the mild earthy smell of jasmine and grapefruit. If you’ve been searching for a cleanser that balances your skin and removes all the junk this is your gem! Grab your bottle here!

This is such a different exfoliant and I love it! Unlike many exfoliants that contain beads or harsh exfoliating agents, the Polishing Grains is the opposite. It uses adsuki beans, kaolin clay, and rosehip powder to gently exfoliate your skin. To use I mix 2 shakes in with the Hydrating Cleanser and rub in circular motions all over my face. My skin feels polished and smooth when I’m done. Not stripped or dry. This is a totally customizable exfoliation too. If you want more exfoliation, add a little more product, if you want less, add less. If it’s been hard to find an exfoliant that’s just right, then this may be your answer. Snag your bottle here!

This mist…I literally love the smell! It never gets old. Fresh smelling, not overly powerful. With jasmine, tuberose, and neroli, the whole combination just works! TB is serious about delivering even when it comes to it’s mists. This mist is packed with active ingredients like kombucha that detoxifies skin and balances ph. Plus, algae extract with it’s high omega 3’s and 6’s that protect skin from moisture loss, fix cellular damage and fill with fluid. Oh and did I mention the base isn’t made up of water but of Green Tea and White Tea? Yeah, they’re pretty much all stars when it comes to skin. Not only are they skin soothing, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory, they’re also anti-aging ingredients-hello! Yeah, you could say this mist is jam packed with some serious goodness. Get your mist here!

This serum-another good one. I mean am I sounding like a broken record yet? This serum is designed to reverse the cellular damage caused by sun exposure and aging. Pretty sure everyone wants to sign up for that-am I right?! Besides reversing cellular damage it also replenishes moisture and plumps up skin. It’s highly concentrated and goes past the surface of the skin to really get to the cellular level. Most serums sit at the top of the skin-not TB’s. Another thing I love about this serum is it’s ability to calm redness and ease congestion. My skin looks clearer over all and more even toned. I apply it after toning/misting my skin. Since it’s a serum my skin doesn’t feel moisturized but slightly dewy. This is a serum that is going to work for your skin everyday. An anti-aging, redness reducing serum all rolled into one. Invest in your skin and grab your’s here!

Where do I start with this oil? Gahh…I really love it. It’s their number 1 product and for good reason. It seeps right into your skin, leaves behind no greasy residue, and makes your skin feel hydrated throughout the day and night. Besides being highly hydrating it also helps smooth wrinkles, shrink large pores and fight free radical damage. I love the scent as well. Not heavy at all, but with notes of frankincense, neroli, rose and jasmine. Many people wonder what makes this oil so special, here’s a blurb from TB on their website that explains it so well-

When therapeutic oils are applied to the skin without the interference of waxes, they can be absorbed directly into the top layers of the epidermis, where they instantly go to work to improve lipid barrier function. By replenishing the oils you’ve lost due to natural attrition and exposure, you enable your skin to properly do its job: hold moisture in and keep the elements, like sun and wind, out.

So many people are afraid of oils who suffer from acne. Oils are actually necessary and help create balance in the skin. This oil, as with all of TB’s products is also available in the CLEAR Line and CALM Line. Grab your bottle here and thank me later!

This mask does exactly what it says- it moisturizes and exfoliates. It’s a gel consistency. It gets rid of all the dead skin and reveals that inner glow(aka new skin). I leave mine on for 5 minutes. It’s especially great right before a big event or night out when you want your skin to be glowing. It also gives you an even smooth canvas for flawless makeup application. You won’t be disappointed with this mask-Get yours here!

Who doesn’t love a good 2 for 1 product?! Well TB’s Smoothing Eye and Lip Jar fits the bill perfectly. Not only can you use this to hydrate your lips, but also under your eyes. It smoothes, hydrates and plumps up the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. With power house ingredients like carrot seed oil, grapeseed oil and evening primrose oil, this little jar is filled with some serious goodness. You can also layer this over TB’s Eye Serum for increased results. Get your jar here!

This vitamin c treatment is preserved in it’s freshest form. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to even skin tone, brighten and fade wrinkles, stimulate collagen, plus firm and repair skin. I mean every face needs this stuff. You might be wondering why it comes in a powder form. When vitamin c is mixed with a liquid it slowly loses potency. By keeping it in powder form you can be assured it’s in it’s freshest form. Combine 1 to 2 shakes of the Vitamin C Booster with one of TB’s serums and mix until dissolved. Then apply to skin and let seep in. Watch as your skin takes on a whole new look-for real. This stuff is potent and works. My skin looks brighter and more even, just after a month of application. Grab your Vitamin C Booster here!

I’ve been using this eye serum since they first introduced it last spring and I’ve been hooked. It is so concentrated and rich. A little goes a long way. It literally lasts forever since you need such little product. I just dab a drop around my eye area with my ring finger(least amount of muscles). My eye area is hydrated and puffiness is minimized. My eyes look rested and brightened. Again, TB takes it to the next level with their eye serum. Unlike most eye serums that sit on the surface, TB’s actually goes deep into the skin to repair skin at the cellular level. You can say goodbye to crows feet! Get your Eye Serum here!

If you’ve thought that no natural shampoo and conditioner will work for your hair, think again. The shampoo suds up like a mainstream shampoo, but without the harsh chemicals. The conditioner doesn’t leave that greasy oil residue…you know that feeling I’m talking about! Need, I say more? Not really, but I will because I just can’t help myself! It smells insanely good, fresh like everything they make does. They also come in recyclable metal bottle pumps, that literally look so luxe in the shower. I promise you won’t be disappointed, this stuff is amazing and worth every penny, and that says a lot coming from a stylist. Get your shampoo and conditioner here!

Guys, even body products TB nails! The body wash lathers up perfectly. Giving you that fresh clean feeling. The scent is perfect too, smells clean but not overwhelming. The lotion is the same. Scent is spot on and makes my skin feel hydrated without any added greasiness. Did I mention they just came out with a travel size kit? It includes the shampoo and conditioner, body wash and lotion-it’s sort of amazing! Grab your travel kit, body wash and lotion here!

Phew, ok bottom line from the review-this line is here to stay and seriously performs. If you want clean skincare, that produces results, then True Botanicals is your ticket!
